On the "heads" side, generative AI will potentially be a source of destruction in the intellectual professions (e.g., IBM to Pause Hiring for Jobs That AI Could Do, Bloomberg, 05/2023).

In this interview, Grégoire Mangeat believes that tools such as ChatGPT will make it easier for ordinary citizens to access legal advice.

However, this revolution in the field of law needs the help of both sides. On the one hand, the public needs to rethink their preconceptions about lawyers. On the other hand, lawyers need to make themselves more accessible to users.
